• How to replace an old time with a new Capsule?

  I am replacing my old Time Capsule (version 2008, 1 TB) with a new one (2016 2 TB).  How can I go about without screw it up?

  There is an option in the configuration... Plug the new TC on the network... TC WAN in all that is the current main router. If it's the old big TC.

  Open your Mac and go to the airport utility. (Your Mac must be Mavericks or later)

  Click on other WiFi devices (1) in the upper left corner... It will start the installation wizard.

  The wizard will choose the wrong thing... to extend the old TC's wireless... Do not worry.. Click more options at the bottom left.

  

  List of other Options choose, replace an existing device.

  

  The rest works basically automagically.

  The new TC will take the old values of TC... the old TC will be given factory.

  The end of it you will say to remove the old TC and plug the new TC in its place... voila... piece of cake... walk in the Park.

  You can then determine what you do with your old TC.

• Replacement of an old time capsule with a new

  I saw a few posts on this subject but they don't help me, but then again I'm not an expert! What I wanted to do, is to set up my new 2 TB Time Capsule (the high) using all the old settings. I'm not talking to duplicate the time capsule data; I'm happy to go back on it. Many people advise new network from scratch, but we have hordes of families who visit most other devices on the network enabled (like nests) who have been extremely painful to put in place and I can't face that again! I searched the internet and came across a great video on YouTube that made simple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VO2tztvb58

  It called an option within the airport most convenient to transfer the parameters of one former airport to another. But no matter how many times I try, I get an error message

  Apple solution seems to be so simple. I do something wrong, maybe in the login sequence, at some point, the airport ask "which network is the existing time Capsule on?" but provides no pull-down or options to nominate for. Then I went to the network Wifi high to the right of my Mac and selected icon that interests you and that moved on the next screen.

  Can anyone offer advice or should I give up and start from scratch?

  Thanks in advance

  Connect your computer to the TC using ethernet... you change wireless wireless and guess what... you're sawing off the branch on which you sit.

  If your computer does not have ethernet or you have no computer in the House that still has the port most important in the world... so that you never get yourself backed into a corner wireless even once, then buy a bolt of lightning for the ethernet card.

  Alternative method.

  This is not 100% kosher, but should work.

  On the old TC export the configuration.

  

  My screen is a bit old, but it should always be there.

  You must be within the facility of the TC to do... then click the old TC icon and then edit... then export...

  On the use of new TC import a Configuration file.

  It works for most. FOR THE MOST PART.

  As a BTW... your name is terrible.

  All new Mac OS since Mavericks use the default SMB protocol.

  SMB has much stricter rules that AFP ever made... This is not your fault... This is apple not to repair their airport for the automatic naming utility is not the long names with spaces and characters not compliant... the apostrophe is illegal... you will notice that if you install the disk in the finder, that apostrophe, and spaces are removed from the name... but over the long names will interrupt the.

• Can I use old time capsule for storage only with a new airport extreme (standard want latest HQ)?

  I have a time Capsule elders (802.11n). I would like to know if I can still use this time Capsule only as a network storage device, if I decide to build my network with a new Airport Extreme (802.11ac). If I can do that, how would I set up the network to continue automatic backups with a router to update?

  To do what you want, the new AirPort Extreme 802.11ac would be installed as the "main" network router The time Capsule would be connected to the AirPort Extreme, using a wired Ethernet cable connection, and the time Capsule should be configured to run in bridge with the service Mode Wireless off.

  Any Mac you want to save in the time Capsule would need to have Time Machine preferences on each Mac adjusted to ensure that the time Capsule has been set as the target for backup.

  If you decide to add the AirPort Extreme, post back for more information at this time, if you need installation instructions step by step.

• Fix a time capsule to Shaw network problems

  Shaw has provided a new advanced wifi modem and configure the modem via a wired ethernet bridge mode Apple Time Capsule.

  As mentioned in other forums, it does well to expand the network.  Believe me I tested it, and it's the rocket quickly in all areas of the home.

  However, the Time Machine backups are now not the connection.

  We can see the disks and even mount, but the backup fails indicating that the TC is not available.

  Any suggestions and how to reconnect the TC to make the Time Machine backups work?

  Mark

  Delete the existing configuration of TM...

  Here see A4.

  http://pondini.org/TM/troubleshooting.html

  Reconfigure the TM as if the TC is brand new... TM will tell that it is going to start a new backup but when it checks the disk for existing backups will discover that is already available... will spend a long time churning through the backup to see if it is correct and test against the current disc / s... then continue to make a new incremental backup. Strongly recommend to use ethernet while you found this to go... you can then return to wireless technology to make incremental backups.

• Restore from Time capsule, but new files on the target machine, won't be wiped out

  I'm trying to move files between two MacBook, however, I have been using the new MacBook for a while (like a year) and a lot of files/images/person of the most recent data on it (dataset B for example).

  So I recently did a full backup on my older MacBook (say A Dataset).  I wonder if I do a "restore" time capsule backup (data set A) against my new MacBook, the new dataset would B be destroyed?

  My desired outcome is to have the dataset A + B all in my new MacBook.

  DataSet B backup, restoration of A DataSet, then restore DataSetB.

  Please, do not restore OS X from A DataSet.

• Cannot remove old Time Capsule for time Machine destinations

  My MacBook Pro moves with me between my home office and the different clients that I visit. At home, Time Machine backs up a volume of Time Machine on my Xserve served to the network by OS X Server. I guess that for the Mac it looks like a Time Capsule, although in my case, it's a RAID 5 with 12 TB of capacity.

  The problem, when I connect to one network other than my home network. As you can see, the window from system preferences Time Machine offer 'Time Machine backup on 'Dominik AirPort Extreme' network', which is not actually present on any network. When I go home, Time Machine continues to try to save this destination does not exist and does not back up the volume on my Xserve. I have to manually switch for my Mac starting the backup on the Xserve again.

  

  How can I make my Mac forget this volume forever? A couple of system reinstalls, to the end that I use the Migration Wizard to copy the configuration of the system from a backup, have not helped.

  On the computer of my wife as a backup destination appears, the good pair:

  

  This simple procedure will erase your settings of the time Machine, including the list of excluded items. The backups themselves will not be affected. If you have a long exclusion list that cannot be easily re-created, you may prefer a procedure more complicated that maintains the list. In this case, ask for instructions. If not, see below.

  Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

  /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist

  Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

  Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

  of the menu.* contextual A Finder window should open with a selected file. Copy the file to the desktop. Bring the original (not copy) to the trash. You will be asked for your administrator password.

  Restart the computer and re-create your settings in the Time Machine preferences window. Falsely, it will show that you have no backups. Don't worry; your backups have not been affected.

  Perform a backup to test. The backup can take much longer than usual. If TM now works as expected, delete the file that you copied to the desktop.

• Old Time Capsules

  After crossing two Capsules time (first and second generation), in a period of eight years and read all kinds of discussions about planned obsolescence or simply knowing that everything has to die later, it suddenly struck me that one of the biggest problems with the old design was the excessive heating, so I have a question just popped up in my mind and curiously It seems that no one has ever posted. So, here:

  Wouldn't be a good idea to 'disable' (to talk), time from time to time Capsule?

  Maybe a stupid question, just guessing if doing so, owner of old TC may prolong his life.

  just guessing if doing so, owner of old TC may prolong his life.

  There were always two schools of thought on this point, then you will have to pick the one that seems the most credible for you.

  (1) some users say that the turn off the TC regularly will prolong the life of the product as food does not work all the time.

  (2) other users noted that turn off the TC and it feeds and then upward on a regular basis imposes constraints more on electrical and electronic power, than to let the TC all the time to the "idle".

  The debate has been ongoing since the first day.  The best compromise would be to power off of the TC if you plan to be gone for more than a few days of vacation, for example.

• A week old Time Capsule roars momentarily when starting. Is this a problem?

  My new Time Capsule makes it a notable howling sound when it starts at the beginning. Sounds almost like the sound a modem makes when you connect - back in the day. The sound lasts a second or two. Then runs perfectly from that point on. The noise occurs whenever the latter makes a backup.

  Should I be worried, or is this a known event?

  Thank you

  This looks like a bad set of bearings in the hard drive.

  It does not make any kind of noise at all... There's a final hum when the disc turns on... That's all.

  Return the TC to apple for replacement.

• Time Capsule and new cable modem

  I currently have one Capsule of time hooked to my ATT 2Wire modem/router. I think that the TC is configured in Bridge mode. I'm getting rid of ATT and get an another cable operator to install internet. I'll use an ARRIS modem. What is the process to reinstall the TC to the new modem. Do I have to "reset" the TC to the factory setting, then set the TC as "new". How can I do this? I lose all my Time Machine backups?  Thank you!

  What is the model number of the "modem" Arris that will be installed?

  We ask... because with good luck..., you will not have to make any changes of the Capsule of time... just plug it in.

  With not so good luck..., you will have to just start over and implement from scratch time Capsule.  You will not lose your backups, but it would be nice to avoid the start process all if possible.

• How can I move my old TIme Capsule at the new Time Capsule backup files?

  For five years, I use a 2 TB TC. It is also the main router wired into my local network.

  Have the new TC even router feautures?

  If I buy the new TC I would like to transfer the backup files stored in the current TC. Is this possible? How?

  Thank you very much for your support.

• Add new Mac full time Capsule (delete old backups)

  So I have an old time Capsule (mini mac in the form). It is almost full. It backs up all three machines. We just be removed and replaced with a new one.

  The new machine will have to be added, but the TC is too full.

  I'm happy to delete the backups from the machine, it has replaced, however the machine is no longer on the network and does not remove its own backups.

  I can't delete the full backup set and leave all three machines.

  How can I delete just the backups of the machine which is now out of the network? SSH? tmutil on one of the machines still present?

  You can access a backup from another machine and work with it. The answer is here: visit Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one place. Due to the disappearance of James Pondini, the site is is no longer updated. Therefore, some information may be somewhat outdated.

• New doubts of Time Capsule

  When you set up a new time Capsule, if it "replaces" the old time Capsule, what happens to the information on the old Time Capsule? If she is transferred to the new? If it is deleted on the old?

  I have a new, faster 3 TB TC and want to make the main machine on the network instead of the old TC 1 TB. I don't know whether to use the new TC to expand or replace the old TC. Above all, I want to assure you that the stored information is transferred to the new TC but NOT erased on the old TC, at least not yet.

  If anyone can clarify the situation, I would appreciate it.

  When you set up a new time Capsule, if it "replaces" the old time Capsule, what happens to the information on the old Time Capsule?

  On the 'old' Time Capsule network configuration settings are transferred to the 'new' time Capsule and the 'old' Time Capsule is reset to default network settings.

  If she is transferred to the new?

  If "it" you mean that are network, the configuration settings on the 'old' Time Capsule, transferred to the 'new' time Capsule the answer is Yes.

  If a 'he' you mean the data stored on the hard drive of the 'old' time Capsule, then the answer is no.

  If it is deleted on the old?

  If "it" you mean the network configuration settings, they resume their return to the default settings on the 'old' Time Capsule.

  If a 'he' you mean the data stored on the hard drive of the 'old' time Capsule, then the answer is no.

  I don't know whether to use the new TC to expand or replace the old TC.

  It would depend on whether you need additional coverage of wireless signal in another room of your home. If you do, then the 'old' TC can be configured to "extend" the network provided by the 'new' TC.  It would be better if you connect the two TCs together using a wired Ethernet cable connection, but a wireless connection would probably be OK if the TC extension where it can receive a strong signal of the new TC's wireless.

  I want to make sure that the stored information is transferred to the new TC but NOT erased on the old TC...

  Here again, not sure what you mean by "stored" as there are two different types of stored information. See answers above.

• Problems when you give Time Capsule, a soft reboot (to make a new password)

  I'm giving my Time Capsule a new password because I forgot the old one. I tried to give it a soft reboot, then go to AirPort Utility and change the password. The problem is that when I reboot, my Time Capsule disappears from the AirPort Utility. Am I something wrong with it restarts? What can I do?

  I got El Capitan and the new version of AirPort Utility.

  Remove the TC of the network and plug in ethernet on the computer...

  Do a complete factory reset and reconfigure the TC... no files are lost to do.

  You may need to Exchange Airport utility over ethernet... Click on the

  Other Wi - Fi devices in the upper left corner of the screen... When you connect through ethernet, you will see that it is now possible to switch to ethernet... It's 1000% more reliable than using wireless. The TC after a reset will appear here (1) that will allow you to start the installation program. I think you are missing at this stage.

  

• Error search server old name of sharing of time capsule

  I recently had to replace my Time Capsule and by creating a new, I used a slightly different name for the share where the time capsule will be back up my macbook.  Now, I get an error popup to the effect of "Server"XXXXX Time Capsule"server not found  Maybe it's because the server is unavailable or... "Well, it is not available because I have a new time Capsule and I am using a different name for the backup share.

  Can someone help me so that this pop up goes and the computer will stop looking for part of the defunct time capsule?

  Did you remove the old path in the preferences of Time Machine that instructs your Mac where your old Time Capsule?

  If you do not, then the Mac will continue to seek a Time Capsule that does not exist and the report that he can't find it.

  Open Time Machine preferences

  Click Add or remove disks

  Select the old Time Capsule disk. under backup disks... that could be called data, unless you have changed the name

  Click on remove the disc

  Restart your Mac and recheck things.

  IF you have not changed the name of the new Time Capsule data, then you will see two drives two named data.  In this case, remove the two data disks.

  Then, the old time Capsule's power off, restart your Mac and set up Time Machine again by choosing the new Time Capsule disk.
